The fear is that without congestion pricing, adding ride-hailing would add more cars to the road and pull people off transit. The City of Vancouver wants to explore tacking “mobility fees” onto trips with services like Uber and Lyft when ride-hailing arrives in B.C.
City hall has opted to go easy on ride-share companies with a proposed licensing system that includes neither vehicle caps, nor mandatory cameras, nor minimum fares.
The Canadian arm of Uber Technologies Inc. is fighting a tax reassessment that the ride-hailing company says incorrectly assumed it was responsible to account for sales tax on rides provided using the service. In December, Uber Canada Inc. (UCI) filed a notice of appeal with the Tax Court of Canada over reassessments it says were issued by the Canada Revenue Agency in December 2014, which covered periods from October 2012 to the end of June 2013.
Uber and Lyft aren't expected to launch in B.C. for several more months, but the Vancouver Taxi Association is already working with a local tech company to introduce a version of ride-hailing in some cabs.
Destiny Limousine is committed to giving each customer with great value for money. For this reason, the company has introduced limo service packages for both Metro Vancouver and Fraser Valley. These packages are tailored to fit individual needs

BC Taxi Association said there will be more cabs on the road this New Year’s Eve. All TransLink transit services are free after 5 p.m. on Dec. 31 until 5 a.m. on Jan. 1, 2019.
The night is a busy time for Lyft and Uber drivers as people opt to use them to avoid parking at party hot spots and driving after drinking. “We encourage Lyft riders to ride smart and plan ahead for a responsible ride home when ringing in 2019 with friends and family,” said Josh Huber, the Pittsburgh Market Manager for Lyft.
Uber has lost its latest court bid to stop its British drivers being classified as workers, entitling them to rights such as the minimum wage, in a decision which jeopardizes the taxi app's business model. Two drivers successfully argued at a tribunal in 2016 that the Silicon Valley firm exerted significant control over them to provide an on-demand service and that they should cease to be considered as self-employed, which gives few protections in law.
